WOS Y GIL AJ SAN JUAN
Former President of Dominican Re
public Speak a of Conditions In
San Domingo.
BAN JVAN. P. n.,' Nov. .10. General
Wos y Gil arrived Inst night on the German
cruiser Falke. The Falko started at day
light o.i Its return to San Domingo. In the.
course of an interview with a rcpresta
tlve of the Associated Press General AVoj
y Gil said:
No slgnllicar.ee attaches to the fact nf
my traveling on the cruiser Falke. United
States Mlnl.-scr Powell offered me passage
on the gunboat Newport to New Orleans
or Kingston, Ja., but I preferred to come
to San Juan and the German officials
kindly offered me transportation.
Regarding the overthrow by my govern
ment I can only say that It was due to
the Impatienne of the people. With my re
spect for the! constitution this Impatience
caused the revolution. If the new govern
ment starts constitutionally my people will
ngree with It; if not they will try another
revolution, I had the chair through peace;
I do not wnnt It through war, which is
demoralizing to the country.
The future of the Dominican republic.
depends on lha recognition of the protocol
signed by the Vasquez government with
Sllnlster Powell. I never wanted the pro
tocol ratified, unless the Dominicans ac
cepted it, my acceptance of it was forced
when the revolution came. This protocol
demands the arbitration of certain iues
ttons between San Domingo and the Unltd
States. In accordance with Presldnt
Roosevelt's agreement with me, signed by
the president and received In San Do
mingo, President Roosevelt cannot reach
an agreement with another arbitrator
other than mine: Senor Galvan was ap
pointed by the regular government.
General Wos y Gil will remain hero two
months. When asked if he were contem
plating asking the United States to estab
lish a protectorate over Son Domingo, the
general placed his finger on the lips and
waved his hand significantly, his entire
manner indicating the truth of the re
port that this waa the object of Renor
Galvan's visit to President Roosevelt.

FEAR CANADIAN COMPETITION
Bounty Fed Pig Iron Making Serious
Inroads on the British
Market.
LONDON ' Nov. 30,-The Standard this
morning quotes statistics showing that
there has been a curtailment of the produc
tion of pig iron of th-! United Klngdcm in
the Inst six months amounting to 190.000
tons. The report says: "Notwilhstant'lng
this decline In output stocks have grad
ually Increased here from 203.000 tons In
May to 623,000 tons In October, largely
owing to the Imports of the bounty-fed
Canadian Iron and steel. This Canadian
competition, which ,1s bound to grow, ta
viewed with misgiving."
CHICAGO. Nov. so. Peter Nledermrler,
one of the members of the quartet of
young bandits who lor the last six months
have terrorised Chicago, In another confes
sion yesterday added neveral moreViinies to
the long list already charged against him
nnd his companions. Van Deln. Marx and
Itoeskl. With parental love uppermost In
his mind, Nledermeler offered to tell Chief
of police O'Neil of a score of train hold
ups, burglaries and other crimes that he
has committed, if the rewards offered will
only be given to his mother.
"I want to know that my mother will be
cared for after I'm hung," said the 21-year-old
boy, who !s now the self-confessatl
murderer of five men. "1 am guilty of
crimes of which you know nothing, and
for which Innocent men are Buffering.
There are rewards offered for my enptpra
arid conviction. If you will guarantee me
that these rewards will go lo my mother
I will convict myself. I will confess climes
that will startle yon."
In order to make his word good, Nieder
nieler told of a few crimes which he
claimed to have committed. Ho outlined
them in such a manner. Chief O'Neil de
clared tonight, as only one who was con
cerned In them could do. Nledermeler re
fused, however, to divulge the names of
Ills partners In tho crimes referred to.
pending proof that his mother would get
the rewarda.
gome Additional Crimea.
A few of tho additional crimes he claims
to have paitklpated In are as follows:
Robbery of the Illinois Central limited
express nt l'aducah, Ky., In which Barnes,
one of the robbers, cut his throuL while
surrounded in a swamp. The others
escaped.
Holdup of a stag coach a mile from But
lr. Nov., two years ago, nnd robbery of
the malls. No ime was shot, and rolibera
escaped without recognition.
Holdup nnd robbery of Chicago AL- North
western passenger train near Boone, la.,
six months ago.
Holdup and attempted robbery of Balti
more & Ohio train at Edgemoor, lnd., four
years ufo.
Minor holdups and robberies In und out
of Chicago were mentioned by Niedermeler.
But in all cases he was careful to conceal
the names of his associates In crime,
merely giving sufficient outline of the
crimes lo .warrant Chief O'Neil In believ
ig that Nledermeler was telling the truth.
When Nledermeler went back to Ills cell
it was with the assurance that his mother
would be bettered ITH) financially.

found Barnes in a swamp, with his throat

committed suicide with. Uefore last May
I spent three years In holdups and rob
beries outside Chicago, and If the rewards
are forthcoming for my mother I will make
a clean breast of everything.".
The police have been so appalled by Nle
dermeler' confession that they hardly give

BIG RETURNS FROM ORANGES
Ine Million Dollars In Freight
Charges from Immense Citrus
Fruit Crop.
An official of the I'nlon Pacific who
make It a business to anticipate the move
ment of freight of different kinds ha re
cently complied a statement showing what
may be expected this season In the move
ment of oranges from California. Accord
Ing to his figures the three line which
handle the orange crop from the coast will
haul 30,000 cars of that fruit to eastern
markets. This Is 6,000'cars more than were
moved last year. A few statistics have
been compiled In connection with the move
ment of this Immense crop, among which
the item of freight which will be paid by
the shippers loom up to the. extent of
I9.COO.00O. Said the railroad official: ..
It seems almost Incredible to one not
familiar with the volume of this business
that the east will pay this amount of
money, for freight on oranges, but when
you add to thla the cost of the fruit Itself
you will find that t3,000,000 ii the amount
which orange lovere will disburse for the
enjoyment of this luscious fruit. The most
of this immense amount of money will be
collected by fruit, venders t cent at a time.
Tills total does not Include the retailers'
protit, but simply the price which will be
paid to the producer in California. When
you add the middleman' prollt it will swell
the total to a much larger, figure."
Kven at 19.000,000 the railroads do not con
alder that the hauling of the orange crop
pays them, a tiie cars have to be taken, tn
most cases, empty to the west, and, of
course, no freight Is realized on the hauling
of an empty car.

Into his head (hat the boys thought him
a coward. On this trip back from the
front we were jumped by a bunch of In
dians ni I he Wichita bottoms. We were
all well mounted, but before we knew what
was up we were completely surrounded by
Indians. We dismounted and made .for a
buffalo wallow, with a view to making a
rifle pit' out of It. Billy held the horses
while the rest of us burrowed In the wallow
to make a .breastwork. He was about
twenty feet from u and suddenly he fell
down on his knees and Chapman called
.to him to leave the horses and come Into
the pit. Billy said, 'No, I can hold thern.
but hurry a little, for I believe I'm hit.'
A he spoke he vomited a lot of blood, and
then started to crawl toward us. The
horses pulled away from him and poor
Billy stumbled and crawled toward us and
just as he reached the pit he stretched
himself out along the top between ua and
the Indians, saying: 'Boys, I hain't any
good any more. They can't hurt me now
o I'll lay here and be a breastwork for
you.' He waa dead before we could drag
him down back of the little breastwork.
Our horse stayed near lis and w suc

government afterward put up a monu

Billy Beard of th Eighteenth Infantry
told thla one: "I wa with a detachment
of twenty men that wa attacked by In
diana under Red Cloud at Crazy Woman
creek In the summer of 1866. They' jumped
us the morning of July 20 and kept u busy
all day long. Ueutenant Daniels was
killed at the outset and Sergeant Terrell
along toward evening. Nearly every other
man In the command waa wounded. It
began to look desperate for ua and we
decided to kill ourselves rather than sub
mit to' capture, knowing It meant the
worst kind of torture. Just before sun
down Chaplain Alpha Wright and Private
William Wallace, who were of our party
though badly wounded, volunteered to ride
from Crazy Woman to Fort Reno for re
lnforcementa, and had to cut their way
through the Indiana to do so. They did
this, and I never saw, nor do I hope ever
to see, a more glorious sight than those
two men galloping through that cordon
of Indian shooting right and left with
their pistols. The Indian were astonished
at their nerve and hadn't the courage to
follow them very fr. They reached Reno
In safety, but the ride killed both of the
horses. The distance waa thirty miles.
We were saved that night through the
enforced march of a detachment of luo
men that happened to le coming up from
Fort Phil Kearney, under command

wa on of the rescuing party. Chaplain
Wright died In Nebraska City a few year

The scalp of Ueutenant Daniels was re

and the gruesome relic can be seen in a
